Five men in the Honda Accord died at the scene of the crash around 2:15 a.m. in Lincoln, about 3 miles east of the state Capitol, police said. A 24-year-old woman died later at a hospital where she was taken in critical condition.
The five who died included the 22-year-old driver. The other victims were one 21-year-old, one 23-year-old and two 22-year-olds.
